Burger lovers, now is your chance to cast your ballot for your favorite burger in all of New York state. The New York Beef Councilís third annual Best Burger NY Contest is accepting online votes through March 15.

In order to nominate a restaurantís burger, that burger has to be 100 percent beef or veal or a mixture of the two. Spices and vegetables are allowed as an additive, but veggie burgers are not eligible. Furthermore, the burgers must include a bun or other bread product holding the grilled patty, condiments, cheese (must be cowís milk) and toppings. Finally, the contest is reserved for restaurants with no more than 10 locations, so large chains are out.

One finalist from each region throughout the state will be selected based on number of votes, then judges will select a winner from the finalists. The winner will be announced in May.
